In today's fast-paced world of disposable fashion, it's refreshing to find a company that prioritizes sustainability, quality, and craftsmanship over fleeting trends. Arsenic and Old Lace stands apart as a beacon of ethical fashion, offering a compelling alternative to the harmful practices of fast fashion giants. Here's why choosing us for your bow tie and tie needs is not just a purchase, but a conscious decision for a better planet:




Vintage Fabric

1. Vintage-Inspired Fabrics: At Arsenic and Old Lace, we often draw inspiration from the past, incorporating vintage fabrics into our designs. While we meticulously source reclaimed vintage fabric when available, we also curate vintage-inspired textiles that capture the essence of bygone eras. By infusing our accessories with vintage charm, we not only reduce the environmental impact of textile waste but also offer you a unique and timeless style statement.

This means that we only produce what is needed, minimizing excess inventory and eliminating the wasteful practices of overproduction. Your purchase is crafted with care and attention, ensuring that each piece meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Sustainable packaging

4. Eco-Friendly, Plastic-Free Packaging: We believe that sustainability extends beyond our products and into every aspect of our business. That's why we use eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging for all bow tie and tie orders.
